Daisy (Barrow-in Furness)

I love to read fantasy, historical fiction , literary and ‘weird’ fiction. I live in Haverigg and looking to make friends as I’m new to the area. Looking for a local book club here or in Barrow-in-Furness or to set one up :)

Seeking a gaming group
35, Carlisle-based, long-time 5e player with an established home group and looking to hopefully find another regular game alongside that. Big fan of atmosphere, character-driven stories, darker settings and parties that actually build chemistry over time. I enjoy a good mix of roleplay, exploration and combat, and I’m much more into collaborative storytelling than super optimised or chaotic “meme” playstyles. Prefer online play via Roll20 or similar as it fits around work/life a lot easier these days. Every other Saturday would probably suit best, but I’m open to other Friday–Sunday games depending on schedules. Mostly just looking for a friendly, reliable group of normal people who enjoy tabletop for the social side as much as the game itself.
